Cool, perfect time for me to smuggle drugs interstate then :)
They always are every long weekend. Good luck to those going through Mansfield lol.

Unfortunately my GQ now sits at home long weekends.
When money permits I'll probably end up doing Leah's car up for the family camping long weekenders.
I'll be heading up to the Strathbogies, that's close enough to Mansfield to make me nervous haha
Unfortunately the sadest part is for the business owners in our High Country regions. Last year at Dargo the publicans vouched for the slowest weekend to date. KTM's galore scouring the tracks at quadruple our pace, AB & Jaysee can sticker vouch for that :-( ! Both cars were LWB very well set up, tyres yes, but we need these tools to travel safely, slowly and environmentally conscious at 20psi without skull dragging up tracks!!
Makes me sad, yes I know my GU is definitely over the top but it also is driven everywhere, around town or the bush, with care and safety for my family in mind. I have a 2 and 4 year old and my wife in it so why would I drive it dangerously? We just want to get where we are going comfortably, easily and safely. The things I see around me on the road in just one day make me more worried than everything I have ever seen off the road put together
Cheers, Danny

1998 GU wagon - 2.8 out - mighty 4.2 in. Locked front and rear with 4.6 ratios. 4 inch heavy duty coils. Tough dog adjustable shocks. Too much to mention and hopefully more to come.
Mark AB and I rolled into Woods Point on Australia Day weekend expecting to have to bush camp along the river due to the crowds..... Was Blown Away to find Comet Flat Camp ground completely deserted! We had it to ourselves! We went into the pub for a beer "Just because" and there was Noone there! was Crazy! We drove around for 2 days and saw only 2 or 3 cars in the area! could not believe how quiet it was. Certainly the business owners must feel that!
Workmates best friend works for depi and lives in Mansfield. Cops even target their land cruisers etc...
There was a lot of letters written to the local MP and council outlining people abandoning visiting to their town because of the police attitude. Loss of tourism etc... and apparently there was a response letter somebody put up on Facebook pretty much saying , no matter what car you drive be it a family sedan or 4x4 if you abide by the rules and are legal on road you have nothing to worry about .
I'll scour my FB later and have a search for it.

So just reading on faceche someone had a catch can noted on the yellow slip...
Catch cans not roadworthy? Thought it was illegal only when vented into atmosphere

I thought catch cans wouldn't affect the performance of a vehicle, and if vented back into the engine, it would be beneficial to the environment.
Yeah Brett was saying that Vic Toads bought in the ruling of catch cans years ago when all the rice burners were fitting them and just venting in the the atmosphere. Now can design has changed but the out of date ruling hasn't.

Something else i have leanrt too Kallen. Your local state can make one rule, but if ADR says different, the local state law is rendered null and void.

I just spoke to a mate of mine about 5 minutes ago, and his brother has a kitted out zook. Big lift, 32inch tyres, EFI'd Vitara motor, twin locked etc etc. ALL engineered, recently. He got pulled up by the fuzz last week not far from my place by the highway patrol. They were going to slap him with a fine and a sticker for the tyres and what ever else, he showed them the recent papers for the engineers and RWC. The copper said it means nothing and to him he's still illegal. Then my mates brother argued how in the hell is his car NOT legal when he has it engineered to be legal, plus a current RWC. He also said if you want to take it further I will see you in court and I will chase you down for my legal costs.
After saying that copper said "I'll let you off with a warning" to him. His response was, "No! I'll let you off". Started his car and took off. Leaving the copper standing on the side of the road.
Kinda funny that.
I can't wait to get mine done now. Next month with any luck. Then the fuzz can lick my hairy bean bag.
Here is a little taster for the weekend upon us.
Half way Up Billygoats last year!!

Had some dirt bike cops come into work today. They had the cruiser loaded with the trailer on the back. He said they are targeting Kinglake, Toolangi etc, Mansfield, Nooje, Gembrook and up high country way. The city was also crawling with solo units pulling people over. Looks like it's going to be a busy weekend.

Good... 'bout time the Coppers sorted out all you shady easterners with your dodgy 4 wheel coffins.
